Answer

ALLOW

Today's word is a common verb meaning to permit or give consent for something to happen. It comes from the Middle English word 'alouen,' which was influenced by Latin 'allocare' meaning to assign. This everyday word appears constantly in rules, laws, and daily conversations about what is or is not permitted.

Strategy Tip
